DOGS DAY OF AUGUST....August 2nd

It’s Sunday and we await the latest track of the Hurricane Isaias.   Sun was shinning an hour ago but now it’s clouding up as I know it’ll rain soon.  Today I did an AUGUST acrostic piece about the news media and a verse about it also.  

I think the media can sensationalize news out of proportion.  I actually read a few different sights to see if they are reporting the same thing.  I think maybe one news media provider wants to one up the competition.  I really do plan to put my head in the sand one day but not till the middle of next week.  I have tried this before but ended up giving into reading news online and watching on television. I will keep you posted definitely on how this plays out for me.  Today is National Ice Cream Sandwich Day so why not indulge with one.  

Have a wonderful and blessed Sunday.  

Until tomorrow....as always Be Kind and Stay Safe.

   August 2nd....DAILY REFLECTIONS m

Sun is shining at the moment....I know later 

     rain will come....weather app shows in 

        a few hours it will begin 

What else do I expect that it’ll rain      

     today....Isaias is coming towards the 

         state

It’s not like I have plans for the day going     

    anyplace....just another day

Always I am curious what occurred 

        overnight while I was off in dreamland 

Using the news media to keep me and 

    everyone informed, I watch the news,

      read the online newspapers 

Getting the latest updates on what is going 

       on in the world and my own community 

 Unbeknownst to me if it is correctly being 

   given or changed for sensationalism 

  Still listen to the news, read the paper and 

        wonder 

Thinking those providing the information           

      have given the true facts

                    NOT TODAY

I watch the news

  read online newspapers 

      to receive updates

 on happenings in the world

  while I slept

I scan the obits

   check the weather forecast

      while sipping my morning coffee

But sometimes it depresses me

  murders, shootings, COVID-19,

    riots, protests, home evasions, 

   sports figures kneeling during the anthem

ENOUGH is ENOUGH is ENOUGH 

There are days I can’t take it anymore 

  But screaming won’t change a thing

I plan to take a day

  to not watch or read the news

   an ostrich for a day I will be

But not today

 Perhaps tomorrow
